“We are already engaged in World War III. It is a war against nature, and it is simply no contest. As a result, the threat from the skies is no longer missiles but ozone-layer depletion and global warming. Leaders who assert they will not concede one square meter of national territory to an invader should think of the hundreds of square kilometers of topsoil eroded from their countries each year.” ThinkingWorldShouldYearsWarCountryResultsLeaderSkyLandThreatWar Of The WorldsEngagedGlobal WarmingTerritorySquaresWorld War IiLayersWorld War IContestsMissilesMeterInvadersOzoneOzone LayerTopsoil Author:Norman Myers

“Coming into World War II, we were seen as a conquering hero for beleaguered people, we are now seen as invader, an occupier. And what that is saying is we have more might than right, so we kind of have a kind of moral deficit disorder.
